Late last week, word broke that an advertisement for the XBOX 360, entitled “Stand off,” wouldn’t be aired due to its questionable content. It was shown at Sunday’s “Zero Hour” event in Palmdale, but was hidden until today\/last night. It’s on the MSN Video site, but many people have been having trouble getting it to function, so here’s how to get it.<\/p>\n
\nA couple nights ago, we told you<\/a> about a crazy XBOX 360 advertisement that wasn’t going to hit the airwaves anytime soon, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer<\/em>‘s Todd Bishop. Well, it appears he was right, it’s not going to make television. At least not through an ad buy. I’ve gotta say, this ad is definitely all it’s cracked up to be, and I certainly am bummed that it didn’t get its 90 seconds of fame on television. Though the props it’s getting through this manner of distribution are better than it would have in the first place…<\/p>\n
The ad, entitled “Stand Off,” can be found here<\/a> at the MSN Video site, but works only if you aren’t located in the UK (or so it seems), and are using Internet Explorer. In any case, check it out here<\/a>, 7.5 meg WMV. It should also be enclosed with this through the RSS feed.<\/p>\n
